By the year 2000, Comcast, Corporation had become the largest cable operator, home Internet service provider, and fourth largest home telephone service provider in the United States. It had begun to look at options to consolidate it’s offices in a headquarters. We were among four architect and developer teams invited to submit detailed development proposals to meet the requirements of this Philadelphia based corporation.

Working with development consultants at Fox Realty Company and Comcast-Spectacor, our proposals focused on development rights owned by Comcast Spectacor on sixty acres surrounding the Wachovia Center, in Philadelphia’s Sports and Entertainment District. This location offered a number of potential advantages consistent with its corporate goals, including:

· Unprecedented visibility;

· Economies of using existing development rights on land under lease with the city.
